The rantings of a teacher who retired from the classroom but not from education.

This Can't Be

I just heard summer school is on a week's intersession in some places in the city. Isn't that great! The kids that learned little or nothing all year can now do the same in five weeks with just one small difference--many will make up the credit they lost.

Oh how wonderful it is to have a mayor who has made education his priority.

No...you were right. It was three weeks credit retrieval. One week off. One week for incomoming freshmen-bridge. Or during that week if you had many absences during the three weeks you now have a chance to make it up. One week regents review and one week regents! yup, this is a GRAND Mayor!
